West Ham United striker Marko Arnautovic has been linked with a move away from the London Stadium in recent times.
Arnautovic was linked with a move away from West Ham in the January transfer window, but he ended up staying at the London Stadium.
The Austrian’s form dipped in the subsequent months following his failed move away from West Ham, which has left question marks surrounding his future.
However, Arnautovic’s latest comments suggest that he has his sights set on being at West Ham next campaign.
“Every year we want to improve and we want to do better and obviously we want to always be in the top half of the table, but I think it’s not our target to be tenth but to be much higher,” he said.
“We missed some of those games against the teams around us and lost those games and next year we want to win them and finish higher next season.”
Arnautovic capped his season off in style, as West Ham picked up a 4-1 win over Watford.
The powerful forward got on the scoresheet to ensure that he finished the season as West Ham’s top scorer.
Arnautovic hit 11 goals across all competitions for the Hammers, establishing himself as Manuel Pellegrini’s side’s most potent attacker.
If Arnautovic does stay with West Ham it will be a major boost to the London side, as on his day he is one of the most feared strikers in the Premier League.
